    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      Yeah; I had originally typed "fully-developed Bond girl," but then thought better of it.

        Halle is a slut and should only be in movies starring Britney Spears or Pamela Anderson.

        Anyway, about the movie, I don't know much about Bond, I'm not a egotistical kind of guy and all that alpha male crap doesn't amaze me; but otherwise, I found the movie to be very good, had a lot of that 60's look to it occasionally. I especially liked the way they "introduced" him as the real Bond, this is just his beginning, and I can see why now there are no gadgets - he's not ready yet. There will be many more Bond movies starring this guy and I expect them to get better as HIS story unfolds.

              The film has Eva Green in it. That is enough reason to see it.

                  That's why I only see historical dramas now. I'll be damned if I'm handing money over for the privilege of seeing product placements.

                  I thought sci-fi was a safe genre, but even Children of Men had product placement.

                    Um, the way I read it is all the color stuff happens AFTER all the previous movies.

                      Then you read it wrong.

                      It's like Batman Begins, they're starting fresh.

                      Casino Royale is a movie about starting Bond again because it needs it. (Like Batman needed it).

                        It makes very little sense given the amount of time that must have passed between those two parts of the movie.

                            Casino Royal is the original Bond story, and this movie is going back to the time when James Bond just became a double-0 agent, so it is like "Batman Begins" in that regard.

                              Err.. I was always under the impression that it was a "Batman Begins" type of movie, because Casino Royale was the first book.

                              IMDB seems to agree:



                              Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka.

                              - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                                Conceded. I was trying to reconcile the whole chronology thing during the movie and failing.
